Pokémon fans campaigning for Scarlet and Violet to be localized in Portuguese

Brazilian fans are again campaigning for a Portuguese localization.

Brazilian Nintendo fans once again find themselves campaigning for a game to be localized in Portuguese. This time it is for the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Violet games. These Pokémon games will be based on the Iberian Peninsula — specifically Spain and Portugal. Since Scarlet and Violet are inspired in part by Portugal, many hoped that Portuguese would be one of the available languages.

Based on current information, it doesn’t appear that Scarlet and Violet will be localized in Portuguese or Brazilian Portuguese. This wouldn’t be the first time that Portuguese was left out of the official localization for Nintendo games, as Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have yet to include the language. Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, so fans from the country have rallied to try and convince Nintendo to add Brazilian Portuguese to its games.

Campaigning has worked before, with the mobile game Pokémon Unite eventually adding a Brazilian Portuguese language option. Fans want the hashtags ScarletVioletPTBR and PokemonPTBR to trend on social media to help spread the word to Nintendo that they want a Portuguese localization for Scarlet and Violet. With no official release date stated for the games other than “late 2022,” there is still plenty of time for fans to convince Nintendo to create a Portuguese localization.
